Val Kilmer in Citizen Twain at the Kirk Douglas Theatre

Mark Twain lives again in Citizen Twain, Val Kilmer's remarkable portrait of a most remarkable man. Decked out in his trademark white suit and crumb-catcher mustache, Kilmer-as-Twain does more than just repeat the author's beloved bon mots and fabled anecdotes. In this production both written and directed by Kilmer, Twain turns his eye on modern times as well, giving a "Twainian" perspective on the goings-on of today. Audiences across the country have raved at the totality and ingenuity of Kilmer's portrayal, another highlight in a career that includes playing Jim Morrison (The Doors), Doc Holliday (Tombstone) and Batman (Batman Forever). Experience a legendary American firsthand in this solo show at the Kirk Douglas Theatre.

This is a great show with a contemporary flair. Val Kilmer did a really nice job writing and performing. He was only several feet away when he came up in the audience and you would never know that he was only 53. We saw the Hal Holbrook show...continued

Didn't love it, not sure why. Love Mark Twain writings, don't know Val Killmer as an actor.
Hearing device not working and I missed many punch lines. Judging from the reaction of the audience I was "odd man out." I ama hard to please.
